This
web site is dedicated to the
spiritual writings of Olga Park, a contemporary Christian mystic and
visionary who lived most of her life in Vancouver, Canada.

Though she considered herself just an ordinary housewife,
Mrs. Park's spiritual life was anything but ordinary. Born in 1891 and raised in
England, she moved to Canada at age 19, and was a devout Anglican for many
years. She began having visions and mystical
experiences, completely unsought, in her early adult years. For a
long time she simply recorded and put them away for
safe-keeping. In her later years she self-published some
of her spiritual records and distributed them to a small circle of friends
and acquaintances. She passed away in 1985 at the age of 94.

Perhaps Mrs. Park's most significant legacy for us today is the
communion service which she received over several years. She
practiced the communion in her own home sanctuary for decades, and
believed it was effective in establishing a spiritual 'hook up' with the
living Jesus, whom she called the Master. The service
is reproduced here, along with instructions that she wrote in 1968 to
explain the importance of a private home sanctuary, and the symbols and
rituals associated with the communion practice.

An offshoot of this practice is the ability
to discriminate between the inauthentic voices of our culture and the
authentic “silent Voice” that brings unity and active peace, “the
peace that surpasses understanding.” Her life and witness also
provide assurance that consciousness survives death and that the purposes
of God within humanity are unstoppable, despite the self-destructive
tendencies of the human species.

As a contemporary Christian mystic, Mrs. Park’s
significance is not in the mere fact of her visions and other
extraordinary experiences, but in her certainty that all have the
potential to build the kingdom of heaven upon earth through mystical
communion. She reminds us that Heaven is “an open door.” As the
poet William Blake puts it, “Would to God that all the Lord’s people
were prophets.” Mrs. Park’s life is a testimony to how mystical
communion can take place precisely where we are in the circumstances of
our most mundane lives. Though she traveled far into other worlds
and realms, her focus remains on the present, the earth, the human
condition. Her life brings hope that through consistent spiritual
practice anyone with a desiring heart might stand in the threshold between
the past and the future, between this world and the next, between time and
eternity.
